foundling

So one day, five or six years ago now, when we took Pet to church at the Foundling--you have heard of the Foundling Hospital in London?

From the Consistory, from the Senate, from the University, from the Foundling Hospital, the Suffragan has sent...

"That may sound well enough, but it won't do; every man must look after his own soul; you can't lay it down at another man's door like a foundling and expect him to take care of it; and don't you see, if you are always sitting on your box waiting for a fare, they will say,

"And I'm oppressed and humiliated that they won't engage me at the Foundling," the old prince said again, to the huge delight of Turovtsin, who in his mirth dropped his asparagus with the thick end in the sauce.

This Boot was a lone house of public entertainment, situated in the fields at the back of the Foundling Hospital; a very solitary spot at that period, and quite deserted after dark.

And these were friendly unto those, and they joined their loving labors together, and together they built a fair great foundling asylum midway of the valley between."

The man carried me to the foundling asylum, where I was registered under the number 37.

It was one of the misguided Medora's many peculiarities to flout the unalterable rules that regulated American mourning, and when she stepped from the steamer her family were scandalised to see that the crape veil she wore for her own brother was seven inches shorter than those of her sisters-in-law, while little Ellen was in crimson merino and amber beads, like a gipsy foundling.
